Atlanta, NE
How exposed is Atlanta to wildfire?
USFS scores Atlanta at the 38th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 127 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Atlanta's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 34th percentile nationally.
Where Atlanta's buildings actually sit
Atlanta rates 87.4% Minimal exposure against just 12.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 127 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Atlanta against the rest of the country
Atlanta's 38th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 22nd ranking inside Nebraska does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 16 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Atlanta ranks 19,665 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,860 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 457 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Atlanta's moderate rating (38th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Atlanta
Even with 87.4% of Atlanta outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
